It's crucial that I kind of keep up, without drifting into the backslapping land of cliche and lifetime achievement awards.

People say that I'm a millionaire, but that's not true - I only spend millions.

It's a two-dimensional gig being a singer, and you can get lost in your own tedium and repetition.

Well, once you get the groove of your life and you sort out the aspects of your life that you prefer, and you’ve performed all your responsibilities as a father and as a partner. And just discovery and the great adventure of having eyes wide open. There’s so much of this beautiful planet that is still actually spectacular and stimulating. There are so many amazing people that you meet along the way. By using my career as the wind in the sails of my adventures, I could see so many things and so many people that I might have missed had my career gone a different direction.

What I want to do, I do! I'm pretty fortunate.
